If people on here want to read about a family that done what stoners family did to live their dream then read this book,forget about him being a GP rider just to read what his family gave up is one of the most inspiring stories I have read it makes me very proud to be an Aussi but not very proud of the way he was treated as a young rider,but a I keep on saying the old tall poppy syndrome is alive and well here in Aus its a blight on our country very sad.

@BoZz
Yes mate I agree with you what he and his family done to get there was unreal as an Aussi I am so proud of him he never gave up the dream even after all the cards were stacked against him he still came through in the end.
All I can say is what a family brilliant.

@Laterrus
I have a bit of info for you,do you remember a guy that rode and won a WC on a Ducati and when he did where were all the other Duc's? yep you got it NOWHERE, now with the Yam the guy that is winning where are all the other Yam's yep you got it again,ask yourself why is it so and simple answer TALENT,there is no other rider on the grid at the moment that has the talent that JLO has and I am not a fan of his,yes MM is a great talent but not in JLO's league yet.

I was never a rossi fan but I have always admired him as a rider,the reason he got so many titles was the advantages he got that no other rider ever got,but I never blamed rossi for that it was the system that allowed it to happen that has ruined GP,but the problem at the weekend was a problem that I have pointed out quite a few times this year Yam have a fuel problem when rossi had to ride flat out to get back in the race what happened at the end he ran out of fuel thats why JLO fights so hard to get to the front at the start of the race so he can control it and next year will be worse with 1 Ltr of fuel less if Yam cannot fix this by next year the WC will be a honda gift with no other team even close.

@RaceCrafter
Yes MM is a good rider and a rider of the future and he probably will win the WC but mate he is not in the same league as JLO put them both on same bike and JLO would wipe the floor with him,there is no rider on the grid in his class,and that is not taking anything away from MM. when rossi said to Yam him or me you can see now why Yam said him,I have followed GP for over 50 yrs and JLO is one of the smoothest riders I have ever seen (samas is following it longer than me G'Day samas)

@rdm1
Mate I have a bit of info for you that you might be interested in RIDERS DO NOT DEVELOPE BIKES riders race bikes and ENGINEERS DEVELOPE bikes ,most of the riders on the grid left school at 15 or 16 yrs of age I doubt if most of them could do a simple Maths problem, but the guy doing the development on a GP bike has probably done 4 yrs at Uni to get a degree and he would have to be at the top of his class to get a job with either Honda or Yam so please dont keep on with this cr&p about riders developing bikes.

@Race Crafter
I am not a fan of JLO or MM but I do admire both as riders but I will say this put both on equal bikes and JLO would wipe the floor with MM I have followed GP for over 50 yrs and JLO is probably one of the smoothest riders I have ever seen,and to all the posters on here that say he does not like mixing it with other riders you have not been following GP very long if you were you would have seen him in 250's and he could mix it better than most and usually came out on top.
